We are in the heart of soup season, here in the PNW! With our first major storm under our belts, it is all about the warm comforting soups now. Especially after so many went without power for so long during the storm. Our Hamburger Vegetable Soup recipe is a ground beef soup packed full of nutrition and comfort, but without any dairy or gluten, all while being clean and healthy! Even better, it’s quick and easy to make, easily customized, and perfect for the freezer, too!

Ingredients Needed

ground beef, stock, celery and carrots, onion, green beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, spices, potatoes, and sauce in little bowls.
  • Ground Beef – We prefer a leaner cut for this beef soup recipe, 85% or 90%.
  • Veggies: Green beans, celery, carrots, onions, garlic, and tomatoes are our go-to for this recipe, but you can absolutely customize this to your tastes and preferences.
  • Potatoes: We love a couple of red potatoes in here, but russets or gold would be delicious too, use whatever you have!
  • Beef Stock: Have you made your own, yet?
  • Worcestershire Sauce: This adds some great umami flavor!
  • Tomato Paste: We like to add just a touch to add some added tomato richness and depth.
  • Spices: Parsley, thyme, oregano, ground mustard, celery salt, and salt and pepper, complimentary herbs and spices to season and flavor this savory soup.

Easy to Make

It’s a one-pot wonder! We love to use our cast iron Dutch oven from our friends over at Finex, although you can use your favorite Dutch oven or large stock pot!

Recipe Tips

Drain excess fat

After cooking your ground beef in the onions and garlic, be sure to drain any excess fat from the pot to prevent your soup from being greasy. If using lean ground beef, there shouldn’t be much to drain!

Evenly chop veggies

To ensure even cooking of the veggies be sure to give them all a nice even chop. We like to keep the carrots on the smaller side for faster cooking.

Dice potatoes

Because we add the potatoes and veggies in this soup at the same time, we keep those potatoes nice and small so that they cook fast! If you prefer larger-sized potatoes in your soup, you can add them first to the soup and then the veggies. See recipe notes

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 1 cup fresh green beans trimmed and cut in thirds
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 1/2 cup potatoes chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 cups beef stock

Instructions

  • Cook Ground Beef: Add olive oil to the Dutch oven and heat over medium. Add onion and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add ground beef and crumble with a wooden spoon while it cooks. Cook until all of the ground beef is cooked and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Add Spices: Add tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, parsley, oregano, celery salt, salt, and pepper and mix.
  • Add Potatoes and Veggies: Add the chopped potatoes, fresh veggies, and the beef stock.
  • Simmer: Turn up the heat and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Storage
Fridge: Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. 
Freezer:  Let the soup completely cool and then store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. 
Substitutions
Vegetables: Use your favorites!  Just be sure they are chopped evenly. If adding tender greens like spinach or kale, add in the final 5-10 minutes of simmering. 
Potatoes: Use your favorites! 
Herbs: Use fresh for dried, 1 tablespoon fresh for 1 teaspoon dried. 
Cooking Larger Potatoes
We like to keep our potatoes nice and small so that they cook faster, but if you prefer much larger pieces of potatoes in your soup, then add the potatoes and stock first, simmer for 10 minutes, and then add veggies and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Crock Pot Option
Make this soup in your crock pot by browning ground beef with onions and garlic first. Add it to the crock pot and then add everything else. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
